My dad had a "dagger" made in Pakistan that I got when he died. It's a cheap, single piece of metal forged in a knife shape and painted black.

Meanwhile has anyone heard from Clint Eastwood recently? He spoke out in favour of Trump in 2016 but I haven't heard anything from him since. All google searches on the topic result in 2016 or early 2017 praises of Trump.

James Wood is a worse dude than any character he's ever played and he was the god of the underworld for a bit there.

I was surprised to find that James Woods was a bigger bastard than I originally gave him credit for.

On the homegrown STDH I liked that one guy who claimed that his job had had no actual things to do for years due to other jobs absorbing them (or he was absorbing unused titles, something like that) so he's just sit around at work with nothing to do.

James Woods is a crazy far-right conservative who tried to gently caress teenage girls.

Thats actually kind of plausible, if you allow for a little exaggeration. A few years back I had a full time professional job where i did 2-4 hours of actual work per week.

I had to work backwards on this one, because it read as a completely pointless anecdote, but then because it's 4chan it's obviously a forced holocaust joke.

Haha I love the people in this thread who hadn't previously encountered the "leftists are the true Nazis" narrative!

You see, the Nazis were national socialists, ergo they were leftists and progressives and communists, ergo Antifa are Nazis.

It all makes seeeeense.

Everyone knows that if there was one thing the Nazis loved, it was communism.

Danaru posted:

They also like using "Um I am not a member of the german army in World War 2 so I am not a nazi " while unironically wearing swastikas and gestapo skulls. Then in the same breath they'll turn around and call people who are protesting fascism nazis, because extreme pedantry only works towards one target

He recently produced and directed the movie 15:17 to Paris based on the real life incident that happened in 2015 in which a gunman opened fire on a passenger train before his gun jammed and he was subdued by other passengers, who were subsequently awarded the Legion of Honour by the French government.

Lacking A Different Kind Of Brand Awareness
BAD BEHAVIOR, ENGLAND, IGNORING & INATTENTIVE, LONDON, RETAIL, UK | RIGHT | FEBRUARY 9, 2018
(I work in a large department store. The homewares department is made up of a lot of different brands, all with their own staff. However, you can pay at any cash register, so quite often I will be putting another company’s product through my till. A customer comes to the till with one of my items and an armful of items from [Brand], whose till is just across from mine.)

Customer: “Can I pay for all of this here?”

Me: “Yes, that’s no problem!”

(I scan my item and wrap it, then start on the items from [Brand].)

Customer: “Do you have more of those?”

Me: “Unfortunately, this is from a different department, so I don’t know about their stock levels. Their own staff will be able to help you with that!”

Customer: “Okay… What about these, do you have more of these?”

Me: “These are also from [Brand], so I’m afraid I don’t have any information.”

Customer: “You probably have them in your stockroom, though, right? Can’t you just check?”

Me: “I only have access to my brand’s stockroom, so they’re definitely not in there!”

Customer: “But I need more.”

Me: “Well, if you ask the gentleman standing just over there in the blue shirt, he is the manager of [Brand]. He will definitely have the answers for you. Sorry I can’t be of more help!”

Customer: *sigh* “Fine, whatever.”

(I finish the transaction, and the customer moves to the end of the till to sort out his bags and put his receipt and change away. I move on to the next customer in line.)

Customer #2: “Hi, I was hoping to get a set of [item]; do you have any more?”

Me: “Yes, absolutely. We just got a box in this morning. I’ll just grab them for you.”

Customer #1: “YOU LAZY COW!”

Me: “Excuse me?”

Customer #1: “I kept asking you for more s***, and you kept saying you didn’t have any! You f****** liar! You just couldn’t be bothered to even check!”

Me: “Sir, I explained to you that the items you wanted were not from my department, so I was unable to check for you. This customer is purchasing my stock, so I can get more. I’m sorry for the confusion, but as I said before, the manager just behind you—”

Customer #1: “You’re such a lazy f****** idiot. How did you even get a job for [Brand]?!”

Me: “Well, I didn’t. I work for [My Brand], and if you had asked for more of my own items, I would have been able to get them. Instead, I directed you to the appropriate person, who is still standing in the same spot, waiting to help you. I hope you’re able to find everything you need. Have a lovely night.”

(The customer proceeded to go to the [Brand] manager and give him a list of reasons he should fire me, despite being told, once again, that I didn’t even work for them!)

I know the reality of that probably gets maddening after awhile, but I’m still jealous. I could use a job like that, even if only temporarily.

BioEnchanted posted:

I've never even heard of that sort of sales, it's so weird. Normally the stock is dealt with by the store, not the brands themselves, it just reminds me of the scene from Roseanne where they turn their sales into a personal feud.

My job was like that for a few months. Each hour feels like an entire day, and you just want to go home more than anything else in the world.

CROWS EVERYWHERE posted:

It's how it works with makeup and fashion brands in David Jones and other fancy department stores in Australia, and I imagine other fancy department stores elsewhere. If you want a particular Estee Lauder lipstick you can pay for it with the Clarins lady as the payment system is all the same (scan barcode get dollars), but if you want more stock she can't get it as she only has keys to the Clarins cupboards.

Now that you mention it I do remember seeing those kind of Makeup counters in Debenhams. I guess I just never knew how they worked.

Yeah, I had a job like that in Japan where they objected to me using a phone, reading, or doing really anything at all during the multiple hours of downtime I had between English classes I taught. I went capital-C crazy, worst job I ever had.
